MP blows the whistle
23rd June 2006
Mike Penning refereed matches at the annual football tournament in Woodhall Farm.
Mike Penning, MP for Hemel Hempstead, took his turn at refereeing during the annual football tournament held at Woodhall Farm last Sunday.
The football tournament which is organised by the New Horizons Christian Fellowship attracted 20 teams this year.
New Horizons Christian Fellowship meets in a relaxed atmosphere with café-style services held at Woodhall Farm Community Centre. They work in partnership with WorldShapers Academy who hold teaching sessions during the day in healing, prayer, life coaching, trends in youth culture, etc. Students are from overseas and as part of their course they are expected to do voluntary work in the local community. As such they are heavily involved with DENS (Dacorum Emergency Night Shelter) as well as running the annual football tournament for young people.
